I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Barclays (New York, NY) in Mar 2013
Interview
Typical interview questions mixed with behavioral and what if scenarios. Met with max 2 people. The process took 2 weeks for offer letter and one week for background and drug test to clear.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Barclays (Singapur) in Jul 2013
Interview
This was a very thorough process. I had 8 interviews in total with people from the direct team as well as some of their key stakeholders. The first round was a telephone interview, then some were by video conference, and the remainder in person (the interviewers were spread across locations). The process was reasonably well-organised, however the hiring manager often took a while to get back to me to advise of next steps.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The interview included standard HR style behavioural questions, as well as technical job-related questions to test my knowledge.
HR questions asked for me to describe examples and how I behaved in specific situations. They were primarily focused on how you demonstrate the comany's values of: Respect, Integrity, Service, Excellence and Stewardship. They also focused on interpersonal skills like teamwork and leadership, and ability to communicate effectively with various stakeholders, especially where there was a difficult / challenging message or situation.
Some questions were to get a sense of my personality and how well I would fit with the team, and they tested how I respond when put on the spot.
One person asked some questions on general market knowledge, like what the current price of gold is, current exchange rates and stock market indexes.
